 São Paulo Come From Behind to Beat Flamengo in Brasileirão 2026 Opener Amid Referee Controversy

Flamengo left Morumbis Stadium frustrated with referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio after a 2–1 comeback defeat to São Paulo in the opening round of the 2026 Brasileirão. The main complaint from the defending champions was a potential penalty not awarded in the final moments of the match, involving defender Alan Franco and midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta inside the six-yard box.

In the decisive play, the Uruguayan midfielder reached the ball first following a rebound from goalkeeper Rafael and had a clear chance to equalize, but his shot struck the outside of the net. The incident sparked strong protests from Flamengo players on the pitch.

On the field, São Paulo secured an important 2–1 victory over the reigning Brazilian champions on Wednesday (28), in front of nearly 27,000 fans at Morumbis Stadium. Despite facing political turmoil off the pitch and ongoing concerns over relegation in the Campeonato Paulista, the Tricolor showed resilience, overturned the scoreline and defeated one of the main title contenders.

The result gives São Paulo a confidence boost at the start of the Brasileirão, while increasing pressure on Flamengo, who begin the competition amid high expectations and refereeing controversy.
